Re: Xbox One Random Thoughts

OK I talked to both Microsoft and Amazon today. Sounds like one way or another I'm going to be able to get a new console or a refund, I just have to choose which route I want to go. Microsoft seemed like they could give a more concrete date for a replacement.

I read Microsoft will ship you a new system before they get the broken one and give you a free game. If mine was broken I'd go with that and download a game or two to play until you get the new one.

Pretty smooth/quick. Although I can't seem to get it to understand me when I reference a bluray for some reason. I have to use the controller for that, but that's still very quick. You just hit the Xbox button, which seamlessly takes you to the dashboard without closing your game/tv/video, and then you pick whatever you want to do instead. It's great how it saves your place with games and movies.

I've used it once. The other end was using a smartphone, but it worked pretty well. I'd like to try it with someone using another kinect at some point.

Currently, you can't snap a video skype connection to the side panel while doing something else, but I believe that's coming later. In the meantime, if you do something else it keeps the connection going through audio only.

I'm a big offline association guy and I must say... X1's version is AMAZING. Everything I'd ever want it to be. So in depth to the point if you have a bad rep with a team, they don't even answer your phone calls

Ya I love it. I was forced to trade Gordon Hayward because he was so mad at the team for not giving him a long term deal. I also love the fact that if you purchase an upgrade with your VC it is good in any MyGM. I was afraid I would only be able to do one because of how much VC each upgrade is. I love how each player in the draft is different opposed to last gen. I really like the created draft players, it makes building the team you want possible because each player is so unique.

I drafted this athletic C who is an absolute beast. He plays a lot like a young Shaq lol. I also love how coaching matters now and all the badges for personal. I fired Ty Corbin and hired a coach who is a teacher so my young roster would grow together. Just a lot of depth and the scary thing is they are just scratching the surface I can't imingine how good it will be in a few years. I hope they integrate euro league and the Dleague.
